Will Smith honoured his wife Jada Pinkett Smith as a positive role model for young women at the Black Girls Rock! event in New Jersey on Saturday night (28Mar15). The Men in Black star was among the celebrities on hand for the annual gala, which is held by the organisation of the same name, that aims to uplift young black girls.
Pinkett Smith, along with the couple's teenage daughter Willow Smith, was on hand to receive the Star Power award for setting a positive example and it was given to her by her actor husband.
Before presenting his wife with the prize, Smith gushed about her, even alluding to recent rumours that suggested they were heading towards a split after nearly 20 years of marriage.
He said, "In that brief moment my heart jumped for a second and I started to imagine what my life would have been like without that woman."
When Pinkett Smith took to the stage to accept the accolade, she encouraged young black women to be aware of their own strength, saying, "I need you to understand that we are the women who marched from cotton fields into fields of medicine... politics... entertainment. We have found a way to march into a White House."
Incidentally, First Lady Michelle Obama was also on hand to give a speech to the crowd and the other honourees, including singer Erykah Badu, actress Cicely Tyson and Selma director Ava DuVernay.
Singers including Jill Scott, Estelle and Sister Sledge were among the performers.
The four-hour event held at Newark's New Jersey Performing Arts Center will air in America on 5 April (15).

Tonight’s the night all you patient Pretty Little Liars fans have been waiting for. It's the "Big A Reveal". The hints have been dropped (show creator Marlene King revealed that A “has a soul”) and speculation is running rampant. Some have even been predicted A might be one of the girls! We thought we’d get our own bets in, based on the various theories that have been floating around the interwebs.
1. Hanna
GIPHY
If it was going to be one of the girls (which, let’s be honest, is probably the only thing that would actually shock us), our bets are on Hanna. Why you ask? She was the only one out of the girls who was actually bullied (Hefty Hanna, remember?), she was the closest to Mona (who was once A’s minion), and we know she’s super smart even though she acts dumb (so people will underestimate her, maybe?).
2. Aria
GIPHY
People have been speculating it might be Aria. She’s already got the right initial – and Mona even referred to her as “Big A” in the hallway once. She also really didn’t like that Mona was dating her brother.
3. Ezra (again)
GIPHY
He was the perfect Big A the first time, but then they backtracked. Everything fit: He mysteriously showed up in Rosewood right around the time A appeared, his family has tons of money, he creepily targets young girls…We wouldn’t be mad if they backtracked AGAIN and made him A.
4. Andrew
prettylittleliars.tumblr.com
He’s been acting super shady lately. We already know he’s super smart and that he thinks the world is a better place without Mona. But other than that, we’re not sure of his motives. Maybe he’s just an A minion, but he’s definitely involved somehow.
5. Mike
prettylittleliarsquestions.tumblr.com
We’re labeling this as highly unlikely, since Mike was like 13 years old when this all started. But we know he’s acted shady in the past – the breaking and entering, the lying about Mona…So what’s he really been up to?
6. Jason
GIPHY
We still can’t figure Jason out. He’s often disappeared, only to pop up at random times. And we know the DiLaurentis family has issues.
7. Caleb
spencexhastings.tumblr.com
This would break our hearts because he's like the only normal dude on this show, BUT we know he’s an expert hacker and A is also an expert hacker. He’s appeared to be 100% on the girls’ side, so this would be a total shocker.
8. Mrs. Hastings
rebloggy.com
Spencer's mom is a lawyer and that legal knowledge could come in handy as A. She could also conceivably be holding a grudge against the DiLaurentis family. Her husband did have an affair with Mrs. DiLaurentis and father a love child (Jason) with her.

The mayor of Madonna's hometown has hit back at the pop star after she slammed the location as a place for "basic, provincial-thinking people". The Material Girl had a telling interview with U.S. shock jock Howard Stern last week (ends15Mar15), and among the topics during the conversation was her upbringing in Rochester Hills, Michigan where she felt socially isolated from her peers.
Madonna explained that she moved from Pontiac, a "very racially-mixed, mostly black environment" to Rochester Hills, which she called a "suburb that was all white".
She added, "I just didn't fit in. I just felt like I was with rich people, and I wasn't and I felt out of place. And I felt like they were members of country clubs and they had manicures and they wore nice clothes and I didn't fit in. I felt like a country bumpkin. And I was resentful."
When Stern later asked Madonna if she has ever been back to Rochester Hills since leaving for New York City to pursue a singing career, she responded, "I just didn't want to go back. I can't, no, I can't be around basic, provincial-thinking people."
On Monday (16Mar15), Rochester Hills Mayor Bryan Barnett penned an open letter defending the city against the pop star's claims.
He wrote, "I don't know what experiences led you to that opinion, but let me assure you, our community is anything but basic or narrow minded. In fact, we are and have been home to some of the brightest minds shaping our world.
"We are growing in many ways including in our economic, racial, and religious diversity... We are, or have been, home to quite a few amazing people who are known more for innovative thinking than provincial - Olympic gold medalists, NASCAR Champions, visionaries in the fields of medicine and education, and even a top selling global singer/songwriter."
He continued, "Madonna, you have achieved unbelievable success and while we appreciate your talent and achievement, we expect you to appreciate ours.
"Undoubtedly, we have changed in the 40 years since you cheered at Adams High School, but in many ways we have stayed the same. Our neighborhoods have long been filled with innovative, free-thinking leaders not afraid to make a difference. By generous, charitable people who care more about doing what they believe is right, than by what they read in the media. We are many things, Madonna, but basic and provincial minded we are not!
"I invite you back to Rochester Hills to see who we are and what we believe in. While we certainly don't need your stamp of approval, I am quite confident we would earn it."

Rockers Fall Out Boy planned to buy a vineyard but abandoned the project after realising they had no passion for wine-making. The Dance, Dance hitmakers wanted to invest some of their earnings and launch their own drinks range but the idea faded away when the size of the undertaking hit home.
Bassist Pete Wentz tells Q magazine, "It probably would've been a bad idea. The thing I've learned about going into other fields is that you have to respect the art of what's there. You can't go in and say, 'We'll stomp on some grapes, slap a label on it and it'll be great!'"

George Clooney has called on the international community to refocus its attention on the ongoing conflict in Darfur and pressure Sudanese government officials to put a stop to mass "torture rapes" committed by armed forces. The actor and humanitarian has teamed up with fellow activists Akshaya Kumar and John Prendergast from the Enough Project, which aims to end genocide and crimes against humanity, to pen an opinion piece for the New York Times, detailing the violence faced by civilians.
In the article, published on Wednesday (25Feb15), Clooney and his associates insist it is vital for world leaders to pay attention to the escalating situation and demand action to ensure the people of Darfur are not forgotten and subjected to the "mass atrocities", which "continue to occur in Darfur with no external witness" after Sudanese officials reportedly forced the shut down of the United Nations human rights office in the country's capital of Khartoum.
They go on to detail the widespread rape of women in so-called "model villages", which have been set up by the government for refugees displaced by violence to settle.
They write, "These 'torture rapes' are just one tool in Sudan's criminal arsenal, which also includes aerial bombing of hospitals and agricultural fields, burning of villages and the denial of food aid."
To combat this, Clooney, Kumar and Prendergast encourage politicians to use trade sanctions to hit the country where it hurts in a bid to "pressure Sudan to observe human rights and to negotiate for peace".
They state, "The next wave of American sanctions should target the facilitators, including Sudanese and international banks, that do business with the regime either directly or through partners."
The activists are also urging gold trade leaders to initiate audits of suppliers to crack down on sales of the precious metal mined from conflict zones to prevent funds benefiting war criminals, just like they did to those in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Concluding the piece, they write, "The 'torture rapes'... are a reminder to the world that the same conditions that led the United States' declaration of genocide in Darfur are still firmly in place, with devastating human consequences. We must not forget the survivors, and we must impose deterrent costs on the orchestrators and their enablers."
The cause is one close to Clooney's heart - he and Prendergast run the Satellite Sentinel Project, which searches out and captures atrocities and illegal activity in the warzone from hundreds of miles above the earth.

Lindsay Lohan and her mum Dina have hit bosses at America's Fox News network with a defamation lawsuit over allegations they use cocaine together. The lawsuit, filed on Monday (02Feb15) in Manhattan Supreme Court, references an episode of Sean Hannity's show a year ago (04Feb14), when the TV host and commentator Michelle Fields, who are also named in the suit, were discussing the celebrities who had died of drug overdoses, including actor Philip Seymour Hoffman, who had just succumbed to a heroin overdose two days prior.
In the the legal documents, obtained by the New York Daily News, the Lohans allegedly came up in a discussion as "Early Train Wrecks and Tragedy About to Happen."
The Lohans' lawyer claims Fields "falsely, inappropriately and shockingly stated, unequivocally and as a 'matter of fact' that 'Lindsay Lohan's mother is doing cocaine with her'."
The legal complaint continues, "Fields made the false, defamatory, heartless, derogatory comment in the context of the show's topic... (It) was a direct smear on the character/reputation of (the Lohans)... (and it) was a totally irresponsible and malicious innuendo... (that) Lindsay Lohan might become the next celebrity to join the obituary list."
After the episode aired, Fox bosses posted the clip on their website, and the Lohans' lawyers David Hernandez and Mark Heller claim that when they talked to a lawyer from the news network, they promised to take the footage down, but it never happened.
The Lohans are demanding the clip be taken off the Hannity website permanently and they are asking for an unspecified amount of punitive damages.

Tree Hill was home to many interesting, awesome, and insane characters. We can’t rank everyone (because who wants to remember people like Felix or Anna) and we all know the crazy chicks like Nanny Carrie and Katie belong in jail, not on this list. Here’s to the main/big supporting characters that made One Tree Hill a show we never wanted to stop watching.
20. Victoria Davis
The CW/isobelstevenz.tumblr.com
So about 90% of the time Bitchtoria sucked, but she did redeem herself in those later seasons by being there for Brooke. She may have been a bitch, but she was our favorite bitch.
19. Deb Scott
The CW/allyouneedis1treehill.tumblr.com
Deb was kind of a hot mess, but then again who wouldn't be after being married to Dan Scott? Her drug and alcohol problems taken care of, she still wasn't the best mom (who dates their kids friends?!) but she did save Jamie and Haley, and thank God for that.
18. Quentin Fields
The CW/life-in-tv-shows.tumblr.com
Q started out as an asshole (sound familiar?) but turned into a big softie, who helped Nathan with his basketball comeback and was an adorable older best friend to Jamie. We all sobbed pretty hard when we lost him.
17. Jake Jagielski
The CW/tellerknowles.tumblr.com
Poor Jake. He could have treated Peyton well, but we all know that Leyton was the OTP. He really was a great guy, plus he was super hot and a really sweet single father. We still feel for him.
16. Clay Evans
The CW/movie-tv-gifs.tumblr.com
Clay was OTH attempt at replacing Lucas. It didn't really work, but he was an okay guy. He helped Nathan, which is why he makes this list. He also had an insane amount of drama that kept things interesting, I.E. a stalker who looks like his dead wife shooting him and Quinn. Oh. and the time he forgot he had a kid.
15. Quinn James
The CW/teddywestside.tumblr.com
And then there was Quinn, sent to replace Peyton. She didn't. She was another one of Haley's siblings (how many did she have?!) but not the slutty one, Taylor we're looking at you. Quinn was goofy and while she didn't make up for Peyton leaving, she was actually a very sweet character and made us laugh.
14. Antwon "Skills" Taylor
The CW/team-brucas.tumblr.com
Skills was Naley's biggest fan (after us). While he didn't always make good choices for himself (See: His relationship with Deb) he was always a good friend, there to lend advice when one of the Scott boys was being stupid or when one of the many women of Tree Hill needed help. Remember when he was the Baby Proofer?
13. Millicent Huxtable
The CW/xpeoplealwaysleavex.tumblr.com
Millie as Brooke's assistant/employee = an incredible person who was always there for Brooke. Millie the model = awful and we should all forget her cocaine phase. Thank god Mouth and her got back together and she became normal again.
12. Whitey Durham
The CW/isobelstevenz.tumblr.com
Do coaches like Whitey exist in real life? He really cared about Lucas and Nathan, hated Dan like we all did, and taught everyone some valuable life lessons, while being hilarious and as adorable as a tough basketball coach can be.
11. Marvin "Mouth" McFadden
The CW/nathanrscott.tumblr.com
Mouth might not have been the best dancer, but he was a great friend to Lucas Scott and the other guys of the River Court. But it's his friendship with Brooke over the years that made us truly love him.
10. Jamie Scott
The CW/gifingOTH.tumblr.com
Jamie circa season 5 is the cutest thing ever. He got to be buddies with everyone: his dad, his uncle Luke, his uncle Skills, his godmomma Brooke, Q...basically you were only cool on this show if Jamie liked you. Which is probably why we started to really like Dan Scott, since Jamie loved him so much.
9. Dan Scott
The CW/gifsoverbros.tumblr.com
Dan was the greatest antagonist this show ever saw, and there were a ton of crazy people (Psycho Derek and Xavier, to name a few). You loved to hate him. He was a terrible father, a murderer, a corrupt politician/businessman, and all around kind of insane. But at the end of the day, he was Dan Scott and no one was better than Dan Scott...
8. Keith Scott
The CW/stuckinwund-rland.tumblr.com
...except for Keith Scott, his big brother. AKA Lucas' surrogate father. Since, you know, Dan ditched Karen after he got her pregnant, went and got Deb pregnant and then married her. Keith kept it classy, which had to be hard with Dan as your brother, and took care of Lucas and Karen. We're STILL not over his death. When he came back in season 9, we wept.
7. Karen Roe
The CW/tumblr.com
Karen was by far the most responsible parent to the teenagers of Tree Hill. She showed Dan Scott she didn't need a man for her life to turn out great and she definitely got the easier Scott boy because of it. Karen always gave advice that we could actually use in our own lives.
6. Julian Baker
The CW/giftreehill.tumblr.com
Any guy that can take care of Brooke Davis and love her unconditionally deserves to be in the Top 10. Julian might have come into OTH with not-so-wonderful intentions, but he proved that he was the perfect man for Brooke and we've been in love with him ever since.
5. Peyton Sawyer
The CW/otreehilldaily.tumblr.com
Peyton was probably the angstiest cheerleader to ever exist and that's what we loved about her. She was broody (for good reasons) and dark at times, but way deep down, she never gave up on love. She got her man in the end (becoming Peyton Scott!).
4. Haley James Scott
The CW/nathanrscott.tumblr.com
Haley has always been one of the best characters (season 2 Haley aside) to ever grace our screens. She made Nathan the man he is today. She was a great momma. She always stuck up for her friends and didn't care what people thought of her, I mean she wore that poncho all the time in high school.
3. Nathan Scott
The CW/happilywilted.tumblr.com
Nathan proved that jock-assholes can become loving husbands and amazing fathers. Also, Nathan kind of became the dorky guy who thinks Shrek is a good movie to have a favorite quote from.
2. Lucas Scott
The CW/fyeahoth.tumblr.com
Now, we're still very mad at Lucas for leaving, and he almost came after Nathan, but let's be honest. Without Lucas Scott, there would be no One Tree Hill. Even after he left, he still was mentioned in almost every episode. Talk about never getting over a guy.
1. Brooke Davis
The CW/brookdavisdaily.tumblr.com
Broke is the ultimate OTH character. She changed from party-girl cheerleader to power-house Brooke, running (then losing, then gaining back, then losing again) her own company flawlessly while handling jerk boyfriends, crazy parents, and falling in love with an amazing man. Brooke is the girl we always wanted to become. Thanks for the memories B. Davis!
Honorable mentions:
Logan, because he stole the show in season 9 with his cuteness.
The CW/tumblr.com
Sam Walker, because that poor girl was all kind of messed up and Brooke still took he under her wing and made us care about her. But then, she went and left. Can we quote Peyton and say People Always Leave.
The CW/peytonsawyir.tumblr.com
Chris Keller because even though he attempted to break up Naley, he kept us entertained. Who didn't love it when he came back in season 4 and called Haley "plump", only to have her say she's pregnant and he's an asshole. Classic Chris Keller.
The CW/nathanrscott.tumblr.com
OTH forever.

Actress Jodie Foster has scored her first two nominations for the Directors Guild of America (DGA) Awards after receiving recognition for her work behind the camera on House Of Cards and Orange Is The New Black.

Now the two shows have earned Foster nods in both the drama and comedy categories at the upcoming DGA Awards, making her the only nominee this year to garner attention two separate fields.
In the shortlist for Outstanding Directorial Achievement in Dramatic Series, Foster will face competition from True Detective's Cary Joji Fukunaga, Game of Thrones' Alex Graves, and Dan Attias and Lesli Linka Glatter, who both scored mentions for separate Homeland episodes.
Meanwhile, the Outstanding Directorial Achievement in Comedy Series also features Gail Mancuso (Modern Family), Louis C.K. (Louie), Mike Judge (Silicon Valley) and Transparent's Jill Soloway, who picked up a Golden Globe Award for Best TV Series, Comedy or Musical on Sunday (11Jan15).

The TV and documentary nominees were announced on Wednesday (14Jan15), a day after the directors of Birdman, Boyhood, The Grand Budapest Hotel, The Imitation Game and American Sniper were unveiled as the contenders for the DGA's Outstanding Directorial Achievement in Feature Film honour.
The winners will be revealed at a ceremony in Los Angeles on 7 February (15). Glee star Jane Lynch will host for the second consecutive year.
